San Diego electric arc tower in 1887

To improve the history section of the article, can anyone elaborate on the caption of this photo? [1] The electric arc tower appears to be on the west side of Fifth Avenue, perhaps around Broadway. Was it a practical means of lighting, or more in the way of a stunt or advertisement? Was it a one-off, or was there a network of such towers around town? -- Worldbruce ( talk) 05:24, 15 October 2016 (UTC) reply
